LAKE ELSINORE: Woman robs store with toy gun, police say

LAKE ELSINORE ---- A 34-year-old Hemet woman was arrested late
last week on suspicion of robbing a convenience store with a toy
gun, police said Saturday.

Lake Elsinore police responded at 6:49 p.m. Friday to a report
of an armed robbery at 31640 Mission Trail, Sgt. John Carlber
said.

He said a woman who had been shopping at a gas station brought
merchandise to the clerk and displayed a handgun she had concealed
under her shirt. Then she left with the merchandise.

The clerk called 911, Carlber said. Police arrived within a
minute and found a suspect who matched the clerk's description at a
nearby bus stop.

The suspect, who was later identified as Porschia Jhonette
Napalan, was carrying an air-soft toy handgun in her purse, Carlber
said.

Napalan was arrested and booked into Robert Presley Detention
Center in Riverside on suspicion of crimes including felony
strong-arm robbery, according to jail records. She was being held
Saturday in lieu of $25,000 bail.
